What catches people off guard about this platted subdivision is how compact it feels—just 4 acres wedged into the Pine Island Dr & Algoma Ave Area, with each lot running around a third of an acre—yet you're only 16.6 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids and roughly half an hour from Gerald R. Ford Airport. Elk Lake is just 1.0 mile away, offering convenient water access. Homes here run around $389K, anchoring a quiet residential block where Chandler Woods Charter Academy serves the area's students. You'll find Chalmers Park about a mile and a half out, while groceries and restaurants cluster around 2 to 3 miles away—not quite walkable, but a short drive through the area's straightforward grid. It's the kind of place where you get suburban breathing room without the sprawl.
